// Class description:
//
// Class creating the Chebyshev approximation for a function pointed by fFunction
// data member. The Chebyshev polinom approximation provides an efficient evaluation
// of minimax polynomial, which (among all polynomials of the same degree) has the
// smallest maximum deviation from the true function. 
// The methods based mainly on recommendations given in the book : An introduction to
// NUMERICAL METHODS IN C++, B.H. Flowers, Claredon Press, Oxford, 1995
//
// ------------------------- MEMBER DATA ------------------------------------
//
// function   fFunction - pointer to a function considered
// G4int      fNumber - number of Chebyshev coefficients
// G4double*  fChebyshevCof - array of Chebyshev coefficients
// G4double   fMean = (a+b)/2 - mean point of interval
// G4double   fDiff = (b-a)/2 - half of the interval value
//
// ------------------------ CONSTRUCTORS ----------------------------------
//
// Constructor for initialisation of the class data members. It creates the array
// fChebyshevCof[0,...,fNumber-1], fNumber = n ; which consists of Chebyshev
// coefficients describing the function pointed by pFunction. The values a and b
// fixe the interval of validity of Chebyshev approximation.

//
// Constructor for creation of Chebyshev coefficients for m-derivative
// from pFunction. The value of m ! MUST BE ! < n , because the result
// array of fChebyshevCof will be of (n-m) size. There is a definite dependence
// between the proper selection of n, m, a and b values to get better accuracy
// of the derivative value.
